Using small multi-flowered foliages, we have created extravagant new ‘plants’ in topiary shapes. Why have a boxwood ball when you can one covered in purple, white, orange or yellow flowers? Using natural straight and multi branched stems these are also available as single or multi balled specimen plants up to 1.8m or cones up to 2.1m. Single balls come as standard from 35cm up to 85cm diameter with larger available to special order. Flowerbombe can also be used to create logos, and to create other alternative sizes and shapes. 5 Flowerbombe Range NAME SIZE DESCRIPTION (D) or (DxH) 01 - 35 02 - 45 3/4 BALL 03 - 60 04 - 85 01 - 22 05 - 45 02 - 25 06 - 60 FULL BALL 03 - 30 07 - 85 04 - 35 01 - 35x80 02 - 40x100 Orange Flowerbombe Purple Flowerbombe CONE 03 - 40x120 04 - 45x150 05 - 80x205 FULL BALL 01 - 100 ON SINGLE 02 - 120 STEM 03 - 150 01 - 30x100 FULL BALL 02 - 35x120 ON MULTI 03 - 45x150 STEM 04 - 60x180 White Flowerbombe Yellow Flowerbombe FULL BALL & 1/2 BALL 01 - 30+40x120 ON SINGLE STEM 2 BALLS ON 01 - 25x110 MULTI STEM 3 BALLS ON 01 - 25x120 MULTI STEM 02 - 25+30+35x140 3 BALLS ON SINGLE STEM 01 - 45+35+30x165 4 BALLS ON 01 - 25x150 MULTI STEM 02 - 25+30+35+45x170 3 BALL 01 - 45+30+22x85 TOWER 02 - 60+40+30x120 01 - 36x100 CONE ON 02 - 40x120 SINGLE STEM 03 - 53x210 04 - 43x180 05 - 40x150 6 Buxus Range Using the latest and best buxus foliage our range takes reproduction boxwood to the next level featuring cones, balls, single and multi-stem specimens, up to 2.1m tall as standard.

Our hedging/planter combination units are 100% glassfibre with stainless steel pinning, meaning there is nothing to break or rot off. The hedge units are fully demountable from the bases to allow weighting or attachment of the planters to a sill or floor; or for ease of removal for servicing. We can make them in any length and any combination or hedge and planter height – including no planter at all. As well as hedges we can make cubes, cones, cylinders, and pyramids in any size using the same methods. Curves are also easily achieved, making the most ambitious of designs a reality for the first time at a reasonable cost. So don’t be afraid to break the mould – we love to make the impossible, possible. 8 Green Fantasy Like its sister range, FlowerBombe, Green Fantasy bears no relation to real plants, but is the better for it. Who can resist a tree made from grass balls or a black Eucalyptus cone? Ferns, pine, succulents and cacti can all be made as topiary shapes bring a new dimension to replica specimen plants. All on quality natural wood stems. 9 Green Fantasy Range NAME SIZE DESCRIPTION (D) or (DxH) 01 - 35 02 - 45 3/4 BALL 03 - 60 04 - 85 01 - 22 05 - 45 02 - 25 06 - 60 FULL BALL 03 - 30 07 - 85 04 - 35 01 - 35x80 02 - 40x100 CONE 03 - 40x120 04 - 45x150 05 - 80x205 FULL BALL 01 - 100 ON SINGLE 02 - 120 STEM 03 - 150 01 - 30x100 FULL BALL 02 - 35x120 ON MULTI 03 - 45x150 STEM 04 - 60x180 FULL BALL & 1/2 BALL 01 - 30+40x120 ON SINGLE STEM 2 BALLS ON 01 - 25x110 MULTI STEM 3 BALLS ON 01 - 25x120 MULTI STEM 02 - 25+30+35x140 3 BALLS ON SINGLE STEM 01 - 45+35+30x165 4 BALLS ON 01 - 25x150 MULTI STEM 02 - 25+30+35+45x170 3 BALL 01 - 45+30+22x85 TOWER 02 - 60+40+30x120 01 - 36x100 CONE ON 02 - 40x120 SINGLE STEM 03 - 53x210 04 - 43x180 05 - 40x150 10 Green Fantasy Panel Options pine cactus -green -grey eucalyptus eucalyptus sedum sedum -green -black -green -black flowers green algae green fern springueri -purple/green flowers flowers flowers nertera -orange -lilac -white -orange pine short grass flower bud pine -mini -spruce 11 Other Ranges Covering all the popular lines and sizes, plus a great selection of cacti and succulents, our remaining selection has been chosen for outstanding realism.

  • Characterization of Topiary (Top) an Architectural Mutant of Common Bean
    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 126(1):105–109. 2001. Characterization of Topiary (top) an Architectural Mutant of Common Bean N. Guner1 and J.R. Myers2 Department of Horticulture, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. plant breeding, growth habit, determinacy, genetic analysis ABSTRACT. Plant breeders are interested in developing upright common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to reduce diseases and permit mechanical harvest, and improve seed quality. Morphological and genetic characteristics of an architectural mutant in common beans were studied. The mutant had shiny, dark green leaves, overlapping leaflets, and short petioles. Branching was nearly absent, resulting in single stemmed plants. Although mutant plants carried Fin for indeterminacy, and plants progressed in flowering from lower to higher nodes, the terminal node was reproductive. This represents a new form of determinacy in common bean. Inheritance studies demonstrated that the mutant syndrome was controlled by a single recessive gene. Allelism tests between the mutant and overlapping leaflets (ol), and dark green savoy leaf (dgs) showed that the mutant was not allelic to either locus. The trait was designated as Topiary with the gene symbol top, describing its compact and neat appearance. Linkage was tested between top and growth habit (fin), shiny leaves, cross- sectional shape of pods, striped pod (C prpst), and pod suture strings. All genes segregated independently. The genetic merit of the Topiary mutant for improving common beans needs to be investigated, especially the value of single stem growth habit combined with an upright plant habit. Plant breeders have been interested in using architectural traits determinate or indeterminate habit, number of nodes, internode to avoid disease, and to improve grain quality, lodging resistance, length, climbing ability, and degree and type of branching.

  • Designing Parterres on the Main City Squares
    https://doi.org/10.24867/GRID-2020-p66 Professional paper DESIGNING PARTERRES ON THE MAIN CITY SQUARES Milena Lakićević , Ivona Simić , Radenka Kolarov University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Agriculture, Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Novi Sad, Serbia Abstract: A “parterre” is a word originating from the French, with the meaning interpreted as “on the ground”. Nowadays, this term is widely used in landscape architecture terminology and depicts a ground- level space covered by ornamental plant material. The designing parterres are generally limited to the central city zones and entrances to the valuable architectonic objects, such as government buildings, courts, museums, castles, villas, etc. There are several main types of parterres set up in France, during the period of baroque, and the most famous one is the parterre type “broderie” with the most advanced styling pattern. Nowadays, French baroque parterres are adapted and communicate with contemporary landscape design styles, but some traits and characteristics of originals are still easily recognizable. In this paper, apart from presenting a short overview of designing parterres in general, the main focus is based on designing a new parterre on the main city square in the city of Bijeljina in the Republic of Srpska. The design concept relies on principles known in the history of landscape art but is, at the same time, adjusted to local conditions and space purposes. The paper presents the current design of the selected zone – parterre on the main city square in Bijeljina and proposes a new design strongly influenced by the “broderie” type of parterre. For creating a new design proposal we have used the following software AutoCad (for 2D drawings) and Realtime Landscaping Architect (for more advanced presentations and 3D previews).

  • French & Italian Gardens
    Discover glorious spring peonies French & Italian Gardens PARC MONCEAu – PARIS A pyramid is one of the many architectural set pieces and fragments that lie strewn around the Parc Monceau in Paris. They were designed to bring together the landscape and transform it into an illusory landscape by designer Louis Carmontelle who was a dramatist, illustrator and garden designer. Tombs, broken columns, an obelisk, an antique colonnade and ancient arches were all erected in 1769 for Duc de’Orleans. PARC DE BAGAtelle – PARIS The Parc de Bagatelle is a full scale picturesque landscape complete with lakes, waterfalls, Palladian or Chinese bridges and countless follies. It’s one of Paris’ best loved parks, though it’s most famous for its rose garden, created in 1905 by JCN Forestier. The very first incarnation of Bagatelle in 1777 was the result of a famous bet between Marie-Antoinette and her brother-in-law, the comte d’Artois, whom she challenged to create a garden in just two months. The Count employed 900 workmen day and night to win the wager. The architect Francois-Joseph Belanger rose to the challenge, but once the bet was won, Thomas Blaikie, a young Scotsman, was brought on board to deliver a large English-style landscape. A very successful designer, Blaikie worked in France for most of his life and collaborated on large projects such as the Parc Monceau. JARDIN DU LUXEMBOURG – PARIS Please note this garden is not included in sightseeing but can be visited in free time. The garden was made for the Italian Queen Marie (de Medici), widow of Henry IV of France and regent for her son Louis XIII.

  • Choose Specimen Topiary
    PRACTICALITY BROWN Fact sheet: Topiary We can supply a range of topiary to add some structure and decorative interest to your garden. Topiary Topiary has been used historically in many different European gardening styles, from early Roman gardens through to modern day. Topiary is the art of training plants (typically evergreen shrubs and trees) into intricate or stylized shapes and forms, which can be the culmination of years of work. Plants trained in this way will require regular maintenance to maintain the form and structure with topiary shears or hedge-cutters; suckers and unwanted branches can also be removed. The term may also be used more loosely to describe a number of garden features that rely on the close clipping and shaping of plants, including: Parterre: A style of hedging associated with lavish Italian renaissance gardens with beautifully ornate clipped box hedges swirling around them in mirrored patterns or geometric designs. Mazes and labyrinths: The Normans introduced pleasure gardens with mazes and labyrinths formed from clipped plants; there are some modern examples in private and public gardens today. Knot gardens: Formed from different coloured box planted in crisscrossing patterns so that it appeared that the ribbons of hedges had been tied up in knots, these became popular in Tudor times. Cloud Trees: This is a Japanese method of training trees and shrubs into shapes resembling clouds. From box balls to yew ‘peacocks’, topiary is versatile and striking and can be thought of as living architecture; there is always room for a clipped masterpiece! Evergreens enable the design to remain a permanent feature throughout the seasons.
